Own root rose source -Reply

Another source for own root, in GALLON pots
is Roses Unlimited in South Carolina(?)
(Antique Rose Emporium also sends in gallon
pots).  Roses Unlimited's catalogue has no
pictures, just a list.  Have ordered from all of
them and have been very happy (including
Heirloom).

I notice a lot of enthusiasm for Heirloom Roses
as a source for old
roses and own root roses.  I have used them for
several years with some
spectacular successs and some poor results.  I
have received roses that
were not true to the variety and some that
didn't survive the season.
But I have had some that were magnificent in a
year or two.  This year I
tried Vintage Gardens which I found on the
Internet and the stock
arrived yesterday.  It was two to three times
larger and looks good.  I
also tried Hardy Roses for the North which has
own  root roses.  They
were so so.  There's a site that lists mail order
catalogues and
comments from users are posted.  Heirloom is
on that, too.
